Remember what Warren Buffet once said about charitable giving, "Give as much as you can and then give 10% more."

It seems the world is divided into good and bad people. The good ones sleep better... while the bad ones seem to enjoy the waking hours much more.

- Woody Allen

Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Louis Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson and Albert Einstein.

"What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet."

"He's turned his life around. He used to be depressed and miserable. Now he's miserable and depressed."

If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. If life sends ninjas after you, make ninjade.

Favorite lines from Kung Fu Panda:

[first line]
Po: Legend tells of a legendary warrior whose kung fu skills were the stuff of legend.


Mr. Ping: You are almost ready to be entrusted with the secret ingredient of my secret ingredient soup. And then you will fulfill your destiny and take over the restaurant just as I took it over from my father who took it over from his father who won it from a friend in a game of mahjong.


Shifu: [after having dragged Po up the mountain and Po is trying to cool down] Panda, we do not wash our pits in the Pool of Sacred Tears.

"My favourite put-down in Klingon? 'Hab SoSlI' Quch.' Your mother has a smooth forehead."

I've seen too many, but also not enough, bare legs this summer.

Luck sometimes visits a fool, but it never sits down with him.

What's an example of creativity that has inspired you?

It's all around us, even if we don't feel it's relevant.

The warmth of the day

Fades

All of the philanthropy you see — the buildings named after people for giving $50 million to this museum or to Columbia — is a result of one man after another trying to conquer his mortality.

- Dr T. Byram Karasu, Manhattan psychiatrist

He is one of those people who would be enormously improved by death.

A man's face is his autobiography. A woman's face is her work of fiction.

- Oscar Wilde

Is this still the case?

We ask no favours of the enemy. We seek from them no compunction. On the contrary, if tonight our people were asked to cast their vote whether a convention should be entered into to stop the bombing of cities, the overwhelming majority would cry, "No, we will mete out to them the measure, and more than the measure, that they have meted out to us." The people with one voice would say: "You have committed every crime under the sun. Where you have been the least resisted there you have been the most brutal. It was you who began the indiscriminate bombing. We will have no truce or parley with you, or the grisly gang who work your wicked will. You do your worst - and we will do our best." Perhaps it may be our turn soon; perhaps it may be our turn now.

- Winston Churchill

Expose problems and identify systemic improvements so that the problems don't happen again. Don't play the game "Whack-a-Mole" with problems. That requires you to be too reactive.

Standing in front of each piece of art in the Vatican for 40 seconds will take you 10 years.

Uncertainty and mystery are the energies of life. Don't let them scare you unduly, for they keep boredom at bay and spark creativity.

- R.I. Fitzhenry
